What We Can Dream in Five Seconds.

AS proof OF the rapidity with which i'm
ages succeed each other in dreams, the RerVs
ScaentfQue publishes the following account
of dream of five seconds: | was sitting
with police official at his office, and we
were discussing some fantastic story, when
an employe came in and sat down beside us,
leaning with his elbows on the table Hook
ed up and | said to him, "You have forgot
ten to make the soup" mo, no; come With
me-. We went out together, going across
long corridors, walking behind him, at the
college where | had been brought up. He
went into wing of the house which, knew
well, and which led to the class rooms.
Under the stairs he showed me stove on
which stood an oyster shell with a little
white paint on it, Il had been mixing water
colors the evening before) 'you have forgot
ten the vegetables. Go to the porter at the
other end of the courtyard; you will find
them there on table," l waited for long
time; at last l saw him making signs to me
that he had found nothing. ut is at the left
hand side" l shouted, and saw him across
the yard, coming back with an immense cab
bage. ltook knife from my pocket, which
l always keep there, and at that moment
when was going to cut the vegetable was
awakened by the noise of bowl of soup be-
ing put heavily on the marble top Of the
table next to my bed 1t appears to me that
the idea OF soup YVES suggested to me by the
smell at the moment when the door was
opened by the servant bringing in the soup
While was asleep, aud il takes 1--we se,o..,,s'

"The tough, leathery substance, commo on
ly called mother which forms in vinegar"
says Popular Science Monthly sis one of the
many fungi whose spores float in the air,
settle as dust on exposed Objects and fall
into exposed liquids, ready to grow into a
bulky plant when conditions favor. 1t grows
on the surface of The vinegar, and if not
disturbed will cover the whole surface, con-
forming to the shape of thevessel."
Manufacturers of vinegar get rid of the
mother" rs soon as possible. The popular
notion that the presence of mother" shows
that the vinegar is made of cider and is of
good quality, is not well founded The
vinegar plant appears in vinegar made of
molassses,, and it is really as undesirable in
vinegar as mould on bread. The little wrig-
gliug creatures that swarm in some vinegars
have been credited by some uneducated per.
sons with being the life of the vinegar. The
fact is that their presence is in no way bene-
fetal.
These ecls are developed in most fruits,
and hence readily find their way into vine
gar made from fruit juices. Vinegar which
contains them must contain some mucilagl-
nous or albpminous matter, or the cells would
have no food, and could not exist. They
ned air, also, and they have been observed
engaged in a curious struggle with the vine
gar plant at the surface. The plant tends to
prevent their obtaining the requisite supply
of air, and the eels were seen combining their
efforts to submerge it. They may be killed
by heating the vinegar to 1873 degrees, or by
adding boracic acid. The presence of the
vinegar plant vinegar cells or other foreign
substance is liable to induce putrefcation, es-
pecially ifthe vinegar is weak.

Unequally Matched.

The following story is told of Virginia
gentleman, rather advanced in life, who was
about to be united in marriage to lady
very much his junior. Going to make her a
visit just before their wedding, her old color
ed nanny came courtesying into the parlor,
eager to make the acquaintance of the lord
and master of her young lady. "Well, Aunt
Chloe" said the gentleman in question, after
the preliminary greeting had been gotten
through With, "What do you think of Miss
Lucy's choice, now you've seen him?"
81 likes you mighty well, Mars John, fur
as I've seen you, replied Aunt Chloe, after
moments deliheration; but yous too old
for Miss Lucy"
"Too old, Aunt ChIoew exclaimed tie
gentleman, somewhat discounted by Aunt
Chloe's unexpected candor. You don't
know what your talking about (straghten-
ing himsclfup.) "WLy, I'm just in my prime"
Eyes, sir, ! sees you is, replied the still
qnconvlnced Aunt Chloe but when Miss
Lucy gifts in her prime 25ltar y3U gtoinc to DC

Why People Marry.

1t would be an interesting and instructive
lesson, says an English paper if, in COM
munty Unmarried people representing vari-
Gus social grades, we could request the indi-
viduals, both husbands and wives, to inform
us clearly and truthfully of the reasons which
induced them to select their respective part
ners for life. 1t would be found in many in
stances the most insignificant trifes had in
fluenced maRy of them in this most delicate
matter.
AS an instance in point, take the case of
the wealthy young Quaker who married his
wife simply because she was the happy pos
SCISSOR eta pin.cushion Here is the story
He had been out and his necktie became dsar-
ranged, when happening to meet two young
ladies ofhis own persuasion with whom be
was acquainted, he inquired which of them
could give him pin. One of the girls i'm
mediaiely produced from her pocket natty
little pin-cushion full of pins, which she
handed to him with a bewitching smile. 1t
is more than probable that this smile and the
good looks of the fair donor had great deal
to do with the young fellows choice, as he
proposed TO her and was accepted the next
day. But he always sturdily maintained
that he was influenced at the time by moth
ing more than the pin-cushion.
Another illustration from life A well
educated and intelligent gentlemen, on being
asked how he came TO select the young
woman who eventually became his wife, and
whom he had first met in wel-known drap-
cry establishment, replied: because OBJ
served how nimbly, yet gracefully she mount
ed n ladder"
We once heard young man who remark
ed that he had chosen his wife-an amiable,
highly accomplished girl and splendid vo-
calst-"Just because she had eaten such a
hearty dinner at picnic.
Hundreds of similar cases could be adj
duced, but the foregoing examples will show
what small matters may influence many in
their choice of life partner.
